When enabling TwinView the NVidia driver presents a single large screen
to X. In my case it is two 1680x1050 monitors presented as a single
3360x1050 screen. This seems to be too large a resolution for the Limbo
game.

When enabling TwinView in nvidia-settings it will write a xorg.conf file. When 
changing the following line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Option         "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP-1: 
nvidia-auto-select +1680+0"
to:
Option         "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DFP-1: 
nvidia-auto-select +1680+0; DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select, NULL"
A new single-screen mode will be available for selection in System Settings -> 
Displays (via RandR). Now the game will automatically select the new mode and 
disable the second screen during startup. When exiting the game the dual screen 
mode will be automatically restored.

I guess the nvidia-settings program should be changed to automatically
include a single-screen metamode to support these odd cases. Now where
do I file a bug for this? :-)
